2010 Map of Platteville

About this map

The South Platte River winds through this Colorado landscape, defining a corridor of agricultural activity and irrigation infrastructure. The town of Platteville serves as the central hub, supported by a dense network of water management features including the Spear Canal, Platte Valley DITCH, and Bucker Ditch. This reliance on water rights and engineering is further evidenced by several named reservoirs and dams, such as Twombly Reservoir and Mose Davis Lake, which anchor the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Smaller settlements like Vollmar, Ione, and Maddux appear along the transportation routes, reflecting the region's rural development patterns. Local history is documented through sites like Mizpah Cemetery and Saint Francis Cemetery, while the presence of the Kugel-Strong Airport highlights the mix of traditional land use and modern infrastructure in Weld County during this period.
